Welcome Damion! Don't worry, with different usernames and avatars I'm sure we'll be able to tell you two apart a lot easier than we would in real life. And we'll understand that some brotherly teasing will occur.

Ah, thank heavens, it looks like I really can finally post right now, baring I don't mess with my settings... Wish me luck; I hope to be conversing with all of you soon. Sorry, but you are not allowed to use images in your posts due to bandwidth limitations. Welcome to the site though.

First of all, welcome to PT, Mr. Baggins! I'm sure someone will explain this a lot better, but the main idea is that we, Tolkien fans, gather here to discuss his work, the parts we most enjoyed in his books, the movies etc. It's a great place to make new friends!

Welcome to our forum Mr.Baggins.

Be sure and check out Website Help which you can access by clicking on the My Account link from our menu at the upper left. Ask any questions that don't get answered there in the forum sections call Information for Newbies or Help.

You can find word games in the Ivy Bush Tavern, Roll-Playing in our Guilds and also under Misc. Prose and poems can be found in the writes guild. The Taverns have many other threads for discussing all kinds of non-Tolkien things.

Our Fan Writing section can be accessed from the menu at the left; there you can find some very good short stories that our members have written and that have been vetted by our review panel.

And we have two chat rooms. #Tolkien for general discussion and #Bilbos-study which is used for our classroom discussion: in one some of us are learning Quenya and in another we are discussing Lord of the Rings, (the book) chapter by chapter.

Aaw, that is so sweet! And I'm sure you will like it here, I don't see a reason not to.

And hello there Mr Baggins and welcome to Planet-Tolkien! If you hang around and look at the places Grondy described above I'm sure you'll get the hang of it and join us in all discussions and all the fun we're having here. PT is a great place, I just can't stress that fact enough.

Hello, Florian! I have an incredibly beautiful friend by that name; she's very sweet, with golden hair and diamond eyes, and she absolutely loves Lord of the Rings and Tolkien; it's such a delightful coincidence you share a name.

And you're the sweet one, angelic Aire; you, after all, were the one who so warmly greeted me with such fondness and joy.

You're kidding. I was told four lines. *Sighs.* What peculiarly restrictive tendencies there are here...no images in signatures, no BBCode, not even HTML, the very staple of internet life... ah well; it makes PT more...unique, definitely, among internet fora. Uniqueness is always a selling point.

I've changed it. I hope it's okay now...unless using special ascii characters is also forbidden.

These features take up a great deal of bandwidth. We have the luxury of enjoying this site because Taz covers all the costs for the bandwidth. By limiting the features allowed in the signature, we can keep the costs down.That is the reason.
